Hey wood carver,
The first batch you sent us melted away but this load from the midwest might stay since you have been kind enough to send us some wonderful temps. Should be about -15 tomorrow morning.  :)  We got somewhere between 8-12" hard to tell as it was blowing around a bunch. Now it is off to the shop to put some poly on a table and start shaving some cherry.

Canopyboy, this planer was a long time coming. I had my last one for 17 years and it has paid for itself many times over. I've been wanting a spiral cutter for a while now.
Nimrod, those stone tips are real sweet. Whoever gets your bow will be blown away!
Hey Razorback, did you give the temperature in celcius? How un-American!  :biglaugh:  
I have a question for anyone who might be able to help. I was laying out a riser for a R/D tri lam on a real nice piece of walnut and I couldn't stop looking at that piece of wood. After a while, I erased the lines and drew out a riser for a straight limbed longbow. This fit the grain pattern perfectly, but I'm not sure of how thick the lams should be if the bow is to pull between 50 and 60 pounds. I still want a bamboo backed tri lam with a walnut or cherry (maybe something else?) core and probably a bamboo belly. Has anyone ever done one like this?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.

I didn't know you're an Aussie. I've got a ton of family down there and a standing invite to go pig hunting with my cousins. If I could only afford to go.....  :(  
Dave.
P.S. if they forcast more snow I'll ask them to send it your way. I kind of got used to not having to shovel it.

Yeah, been here nearly 22 years now but still miss it. Took the name razorback cause that has always been a dream hunt. Going up north and killing some of them big pigs that live in the outback. One of these days.
